i think the heat might take the wall contract with Beal soon, so you might not be far from that

Cleveland as recently as a year ago 

The heat are moving dragic and working with his agent to see if they can land him somewhere he wants to be, because they like him and are trying to do right by him. There was no miscalculation. There is no way philly will kill the deal and not take j rich.

No. Honestly because that’s something we could really use right now.

As a heat fan I have to say this seems like alchemy. It hurts to lose J Rich but a player like butler is exactly what we needed to at least be competitive. I was prepared for about another five years of the hangover from selling our souls for LeBron (which I’m still glad we did).

That’s literally wanton negligence

It’s odd to say this about a team owned by Michael Jordan, but in all of the four big sports I can’t think of a team that is less concerned with actually winning. They don’t tank, they don’t sign their star, they don’t make big trades, you could actually forget they exist.

FA is about the players, not necessarily the teams. To have the agents confirmation means the player himself has made that decision. The FA moratorium isn’t up until July 6. Teams could say anything to make them bid against themselves, move on from a target, etc

I saw him in the times square Olive Garden two hours ago. I know that’s two hours, but you know how far those breadsticks can go 

I am who I am, and I will never renounce my team

This is the one storyline I just don’t understand and personally I believe it’s just a ploy by kyrie or maybe the lakers. The two of them (James and Irving) have nothing else to win or prove together, I really believe their egos cannot coexist, and it makes no sense to me. I don’t think I’d even sign Kemba if I was…

As a heat fan I have to say this isn’t without precedent. I remember when we had maybe only flash and chalmers and Beasely under contract. It can work.

Do you have an iPhone? Go to settings, then safari, then there’s an option to block all cookies. Click it on. Then go back to your kinja page a couple times and try to rec some of your own comments. It’ll ask you to log in, but won’t really let you. Then close the browser and go back to settings. Turn off the block…

I’m late to the party here but this made me say “holy shit” out loud. Great piece.

I’ve noticed a change in kinja the past couple of weeks on my phone. In the past when kinja has changed, I believe some people have automatically been grayed just as a technical matter of course. It may only be a matter of time before they realize it for some people

Why were they interviewing post-bender mark Zuckerberg about barstool sports

At the very least give the infant a glove and a fighting chance 

This has been a blessing and a curse since I moved out here two years ago. On the one hand, my favorite team is in Miami and their games start at 4 on weeknights—can’t make that, have to work. On the other hand, I can watch MNF exactly like I want to and not worry about missing work every other Tuesday.

For some reason I can’t stop laughing at this. I hate you.
